* TheCorruptible: Leading off its cleansing being partially-undone at the end of ''Space Knight'', the Venom symbiote starts undergoing SanitySlippage as a result of bonding to Lee Price. After reuniting with Eddie, it starts relapsing into its bloodthirsty {{yandere}} state, which alarms him since he was aware it had become heroic while bonded to Flash. After learning that his messed-up metabolism is both slowly killing the symbiote and driving it insane, Eddie receives medication to prevent this process; but if he misses a dosage the symbiote rapidly succumbs to bloodlust and degenerates into a berserk feral state. Furthermore, it starts developing a resistance to the medication, leading to Eddie losing control and almost eating a corrupt cop and the Looter.

* EvilCounterpart: Lee Price is one to Flash Thompson in that both of them are disabled military vets -- Thompson missing his legs while Price was missing two fingers -- from broken homes. Beyond that, they're completely different: Thompson was a hotheaded bully who sought to better himself, while Price was a cold and cruel thug who sought to accrue power from the shadows.

** Flash Thompson was stripped of the Venom symbiote by the FBI and tracked it down to Eddie Brock. Unable to choose between its two favorite hosts, the symbiote tried to bond to both of them at the same time. When Spider-Man tried to kill the symbiote by dousing them in a serum derived from the Anti-Venom symbiote, this turned the half of the Venom symbiote that had bonded to Flash into a replica of the Anti-Venom symbiote.
** Lee Price lost the Venom symbiote at the end of ''Venom'' Vol. 3, and after getting out of jail beat the snot out of Mania to steal her symbiote and become Maniac.
** Lee Price infected Mac Gargan with part of the Maniac symbiote to see what it would do to the remnants of the Venom symbiote inside him, transforming the Scorpion into Ven-orpion.
